All these answers about adding comment text to jpeg are interresting but the result is "binary". I have been seeking for a while (and did not find an answer) on how to annotate an image with a "grep readable" annotation. If I use Gimp or ImageMagick, to write the comment "foo" in an image, grep foo image.jpg returns "binary file image.jpg matches". Is there a way to add a comment in ascii characters in an image? And to be able to use grep to find the images with a particular string in it? To be more clear: I am working with image of manuscripts and I want to able to add a commentary to each image like "in this image the subjet is ..." Then I could use grep to find out what are the images which contain a particular subject. There is some tool like this with gThumb, but the commentaries are in separates files, written in xml (cannot use grep!) and this is quite tricky to maintain a synchronisation between several computers (using rsync for instance).
